I walked outside to dad. The fence tunnel was full of pallets to cover us.

Me " Dad?"

He looked at me.

Me " Don't be mad at me for what I'm about to say. "

He nodded.

I took a deep breath " You should take a break from being a leader, dad"

He raised an eyebrow at me " excuse me?"

I Shook my head " You haven't been the same since mom ..... you know. Instead of being there for Carl and me you went out on a killing spree. "

Dad sighed.

Me " Take a break. Take as much time as you need for yourself and then come back. But come back as you."

He looked down and back to me " no"

I sighed and walked back inside and past Merle.

Merle smirked " no 'hello', sugar doll?"

I ignored him.

Merle groaned annoyed" come on, you still mad at me?"

Me " Why don't you fuck off, hm? Do everyone this favor and just fuck off."

Merle raised an eyebrow smirking " and take Daryl with me?"

I froze.

Merle smirked " sure"

His eyes landed on someone behind me.

sure as hell that It was Daryl.

I scoffed "i should've thrown you off that fucking roof"

He just shot me a wink.

Then I walked up the stairs into my cell and sat down on my bed.

I sighed.

Then I heard someone walk in my cell.

Daryl.

I looked down.

Daryl "can I come in?"

Nothing.

Daryl walked in and sat down next to me " Kendall? "

Nothing.

Daryl sighed " say something. Anything. Come on"

I took a deep breath " What do you want me to say? Hm? "

Then I looked at him " when I was knocked out, Daryl. You didn't even say goodbye or waited till I was awake to notice you leaving me"

Daryl " He's my blood"

I asked hurt "and after everything we've been through together we are not your blood? Doesn't this mean anything to you?"

Daryl sighed " I didn't mean it like that and you know-"

I cut him off " That's the thing, Daryl. I don't know what you mean anymore. You promised me you wouldn't leave. "

Daryl " You really think I would have been able to leave after i would have said goodbye??"

I shook my head " at least I would've seen you walk away from me!"

Daryl " I promised I'd come back"

I scoffed "please, Daryl"

Daryl sighed, eying me "how much did he hurt you?"

I shrugged " got a cut on my forehead. Have an concussion and a cracked rib. All thanks to your brother, by the way"

Daryl shook his head " I should have made sure you were with me when we ran out."

I shook my head " You don't get it, do you?"

Why doesn't he realize that I love him.

Daryl asked confused " the hell you talkin' about?"

I stood up, slowly getting frustrated with him "everyone in this prison realizes it but you! "

Daryl stood up " Ken-"

Me " I fucking love you, you fucking idiot!. "

His jaw dropped.

Me " And some of the group members think you feel the same for me but-"

He grabbed my face, pressed me to him and kissed me.

I kissed back and put my arms around him.

Daryl broke the kiss " They are right. I fell for you"

i smiled.

Daryl "forgive me. "

I just nodded.

He kissed me again.

---

Daryl "Ken?"

Me "hm?"

Daryl "Wanna tell me about Jason?"

My eyes went wide "I-i- you sure?"

He nodded.

Suddenly Dad walked in, yelling "Outside now!"

Daryl and i looked at each other. Daryl then grabbed his Crossbow and i grabbed my knives put it in it's case on my back and grabbed my gun.

then we walked out.

Everyone had a gun and paired up outside and hid behind a pallets or a car.

I saw Andrea coming in our direction and walked to the gate.

Dad called out "Kendall! get back here"

i looked at Andrea "Are you alone?"

Andrea "Yes, open the gate, Ken "

I turned around to Daryl "Keys"

Daryl threw the keys over to me.

I opened the gate, Andrea rushed in and then i closed the gate.

Dad yelled " turn around!"

Andrea " what?"

Dad " turn around!"

She threw her bag to the ground. Dad pushed her against the fence with her face. Daryl had his Crossbow still aimed at her and the others their guns.

I put a hand over the Crossbow and shoved it down " it's just Andrea"

Dad then pushed her to the floor "get down"

Then then controlled her " Are you alone?"

Andrea nodded shocked " i am"

He threw her bag away.

Everyone was backing off and putting their guns away.

Michonne looked at Andrea.

Dad " Welcome back. "

He shoved her up to her feet " get up"

We walked back inside with her.

Andrea hugged Carol.

Daryl sat on the table.

I walked into my cell and put my things down and then walked back.

Andrea shook her head " I can't believe this "

She looked around " where's Shane?"

I sat down next to Daryl on the table and looked down.

Andrea " And Lori ?"

Daryl put a hand on my lower back.

Me "She didn't survive giving birth "

Carol "T-dog didn't make it either"

Andrea's face dropped " i'm so sorry"

She looked at Carl " Carl"

Then she looked at me " I'm so sorry, Ken"

I nodded.

She looked at dad. She took a few steps to him but he stepped back, not looking at her.

Andrea " Rick, i-"

Then she looked around " you all live here?"

Glenn nodded " here and in the cell block"

I added " sometimes in the watchtower"

She cracked me a smile " how are you feeling, Ken?"

Me " You mean after you and your boyfriend watched Merle beating me up? I'm fine, thanks for asking"

Andrea looked down.

Daryl's hand on my back turned into a fist.

Andrea pointed at the cell " there? Can I go in?"

Dad blocked her way, shaking his head " I won't allow that"

Andrea " I'm not an enemy, Rick"

Dad " We had that field and courtyard until you boyfriend tore down the fence with a truck and shot us up. "

Andrea froze "He said you fired first"

I scoffed amused " of course he said that "

Dad " Well, he's lying"

Hershel " he killed an inmate who survived in here."

Daryl " we liked him. He was one of us"

Andrea " I didn't know anything about that. As soon as I found out, I came. I didn't even know you were in Woodbury until is saw Kendall and the shoot-out."

Glenn " that was days ago"

Andrea " I told you, I came as soon as I could"

She turned to Michone " What have you told them?"

Michone shook her head " nothing"

Andrea asked confused " I don't get it. I left Atlanta with you people and now I'm the odd man out?"

Glenn " he almost killed Michonne and he would have killed us"

Andrea pointed at Merle " with his finger on the trigger! Isn't he the one who kidnapped you? Who beat you and Kendall? Look, I cannot excuse or explain what Philip has done. But i'm here trying to bring us together. We have to work this out"

Dad shook his head" there's nothing to work out. We're gonna kill him. I don't know how or when, but we will."

Andrea " We can settle this. There is room at Woodbury for all of you"

I shook my head" I'm not gonna leave this please. We spilled blood to get this far with this place. "

Merle chuckled at Andrea " You know better than that"

Hershel " What makes you think this man wants to negotiate? Did he say that?"

Andrea sighed, shaking her head "No"

Dad " Then why did you come here?"

Andrea " Because he's gearing up for war. The people are terrified. They see you as killers. They're training to attack. "

Daryl jumped In " I'll tell you what. Next time you see Philip, you tell him I'm gonna take his other eye."

Glenn " we're taking too much shit for too long. He wants a war? He's got one"

Andrea looked at dad " Rick? If you don't sit down and try to work this out, I don't know what's gonna happen. He has a whole town."

Dad just cold starred at her.

Andrea turned to us " look at you, you've lost so much already. You can't stand alone anymore."

Dad " you wanna make this right, get us inside."

Andrea shook her head " No"

Dad " Then we got nothing to talk about. "

Andrea " there are innocent people"

Dad walked into the cells.
